I like this, quite a bit. It's also nice that she gets to show her vocals more (which was what I was expecting for Clara's Dream).

Tiffany does the 1+1 aegyo

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Girls’ Generation‘s Tiffany showed off her cute side during one of her MC segments on MBC‘s ‘Show! Music Core‘.

The segment aired on December 15th, during which she did the ‘guiyomi player’ or ‘cutie player’, which has been a recent trend online.

Tiffany asked, “Do you know the cutie song?” and proceeded to do the motions, exclaiming “1+1 is cutie, 2+2 is cutie..” and so on. While Tiffany was doing the ‘cutie player’, MCs Seohyun and Taeyeon watched and followed along hesitantly, looking just as adorable as Tiffany.

Upon seeing the video, netizens commented, “Tiffany is so cute” and “The two girls next to her look so embarrassed“.

Check out the clip below! and in case you missed the kiyomi player megapost, it's here

Pledis Reveals Teasers For New Boy Group's Show "Seventeen 17"

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

Earlier this year Pledis Entertainment announced plans for a seventeen member boy group (tentatively named Seventeen). Although they previously estimated the end of this year as the group’s debut date, the agency has pushed back the plans for the group’s debut to next year. Earlier today fans learned that the group would make their debut in January 2013.

Pledis also revealed that they will not be going the standard route of debuting the group in Korea before advancing overseas, but rather debut a group that is ready to promote in Korea, China, and Japan right from the get-go.

To create anticipation for the group’s debut, Pledis has released a pair of teaser videos for a program, ‘Seventeen TV’ that is designed to introduce the group and its members to the world. The teasers are extremely vague and don’t actually show images of any of the members, however there is a clip of at least one member singing and you hear other members talking, to give potential fans an idea of the group’s vocal talents.

Watch the quirky, but amusing, teasers below. What do you think, is seventeen members too much?

[Spoiler] Yoo Jae Suk showcases his manners on ‘Running Man’ once more

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

Baby Yoo Jae Suk <3

‘Nation’s MC’ Yoo Jae Suk displayed his manners on the latest episode of ‘Running Man‘.

The final mission of the newest episode had the cast members competing against each other to be crowned the new King. The ballots – which would determine who would ascend the throne – were hidden throughout the building, making them hard to find and easy to miss.

As he was cautiously making his way through the stacks of the library, he pointed out to his VJ, “Be careful. Make sure the books don’t get hurt”, expressing his worry for the damage that people running around would do to the library.

Good to know that his legendary heart of gold also extends to inanimate objects! Check out the full episode below.

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Entertainment | Fri, December 14 2012

“Music Bank live in Jakarta. March 9, 2013. Bung Karno Sports Stadium promoted by @Asiatopent and supported by @Marygopsstudios” the announcement from Marygops Studios twitter account read.

The event will feature top Korean artists including Super Junior, INFINITE, SISTAR, SHINee, BEAST, 2PM, TEEN TOP and Eru.

Music Bank is one of Korea’s most popular music programs aired by Korean Broadcasting System (KBS).

Excited for SISTAR, the only girls in the line up! Also curious to see BEAST & 2PM since I didn't attend their Jakarta concerts. Obviously happy for a chance to see SJ (and SHINee) again so quickly. The venue is the same open air stadium used for SMTOWN.

Why Are Korean Men Estranged from Their Families?

[uledy.livejournal.com]

By Oh Jung-hun

A few years ago, I enrolled at a school for fathers run by a nonprofit corporation, which issued an honorary certificate after completing the designated courses.

I went there because I couldn't deal with the unexpected friction as my son reached adolescence. In fact, I constantly told my son the same message that every Korean father is forced to work like a slave to provide sustenance in these economically hard times.

One day, soon after I rattled out the verbose advice, it dawned upon me that it would require more time and energy to become a ``qualified” father.

Naturally enough, my son didn’t understand the situation I was in. All I did was to make efforts to persuade my son into appreciating all the endeavors I did for him as I did for my students at school.

But playing the role of teacher was one thing, practicing it at home was quite another. Frankly speaking, like any other ordinary father, I did not know how to become a good dad. And I came to realize being a biological parent does not automatically lead to being right. The four-week course was a big challenge. Yet I couldn't give up in the face of such an obstacle.

Apparently Being a Student-Parent is a "Colossal Blunder"

[uledy.livejournal.com]

Being Student-Parents
by Lee Ji-young of Soongsil University in Seoul

Do you think that you will be a father or mother tomorrow? There are many college students who are parents, more than you think these days. A figure released by Sisa Seoul, a newspaper, showed two out of 10 university students have been pregnant or have gotten their girlfriends pregnant. Unplanned pregnancy is the worst mistake students can make.

There are several reasons that being student-parents is the biggest mistake for college students: responsibility, freedom and feelings. First, they aren’t ready for the children because they can’t even take care of themselves. A baby died when his young parents were gaming in an Internet cafe, according to press reports. Second, they should live only for their children, not themselves. They can’t study or hang out with their friends anymore. They lose their own lives because of the baby. Last, they don’t love each other anymore. Actually some students who become parents look after a baby alone because their husband or wife left them, and many of these students decide to abandon their baby for economic reasons.

Pregnancy is not a fantasy but a reality of life. There are a lot of things to be concerned about while raising and nurturing a child such as food and education. To be a student-parent is a colossal blunder and also dangerous. Being a parent is something to be considered carefully and thought over for a long time.

i'm not pleased by your remarks.
